I'm excited to see how yours turn out.
So today, we're making scrunchies with hair ties, also known as ponytail holders, i've researched so many scrunchy tutorials and tried different methods, but i sat down and brainstormed my own weight and here's the method i came up with. It'S definitely the easiest way that i've actually seen it involves literally just one line of stitching, there's no hole at the end that you need to close or any fabric that you need to turn inside out. I created a printable template, so i had something to cut around. I just find my cutting ends up being straighter and then i don't have to bother marking the fabric. So if you want to use my template i'll leave a link in the description, but otherwise the measurements for the scrunchie are 21.5 inches width and 3 inches height, so step. One is just cut out your fabric now, head to your ironing board first fold, the top edge by half an inch then fold the bottom edge by half an inch and iron. The folds in place grab each short end of the rectangle and put them together. You can pin that in place and so about two eighths of an inch from the edge and remember that those folds that we just um ironed just ignore those. We want this line of stitching to be completely flat. Okay, now we've created a tube bunch. The tube up and put the hair tie in the middle and then line up the folded, edges together and pin that in place. Okay and now all we're gon na do is sew along the edge and don't forget to backstitch at the beginning and end of this line of stitching so that it locks the stitching in place and it won't unravel. So i'm trying to get as close as i can to the edge, i'm probably saying, like 1 8, of an inch away. Definitely take your time as you're going around the curve. If you choose to put pins everywhere at some point you probably will be stabbed. So i'm just gon na warn you here's the other method where there's actually almost no pins. So i definitely say this is safer, but there is a con to it which i'll get to in a minute. So here i'm just using one pin to start my stitching and then i'm folding the fabric together around the scrunchie. As i go along the downside to this method, i found was that normally, when i got right to the end, there would be like a bit of excess fabric on one of the layers. So i would have to create this little pleat to get rid of that excess fabric. You can't really see it in the final thing, but i just thought i'd let you know this is probably something you'll have an issue with. I suppose a walking foot would help here, but most people don't have that and there we go. We have our main scrunchie done, one line of stitching that was it now it's time to move on to the bow. So after you've cut out the fabric for your scrunchy bow fold it in half, you need to sew all the way around the open edge, but leave like an inch gap in the middle, where the straight bit is we're going to need that to turn this inside Out then, trim down the seam allowance except the bit in the middle and turn it inside out, make sure you really poke the corners out. So you get a nice sharp finish. I used a blunt pencil to help me with this, and now all we have to do is close the gap, so i pressed the fold so that the raw edges were hidden inside and then i just top stitched along the edge. I wouldn't really worry about whether the stitching is visible, because when we tie the bow, this middle bit will be hidden anyway in the knot and i'll just tie the bow around your scrunchie and try and get the ends to be. Even and now we are completely done, we have successfully made a scrunchie with a bow using a hair tie. If you make scrunchies using this method, definitely share some photos with me. I would love to see them i'll leave a link in the description where you can post your photos and if you learned something new in this video, give it a like.

Threads Monthly: WHOOPS, I meant to say "only 2 lines of stitching are needed" in the video, not 1. Sorry for the confusion. See the written instructions and PDF pattern here --> https://threadsmonthly.com/diy-scrunchie-with-hair-tie/
Melody Mills: I'm a newbie sewer and I wanted to try making scrunchies but the tutorials I've seen were way to complicated for me. Your video just happened to pop up and I am so glad I watched it. Very easy and your direction and explanation was spot on. I've made one so far and have some tweaking to do (need to sew closer to the edge etc) but I know I will certainly make some more of these. I like to make things for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes and this will enable me to put some cute little hair items for the little girls. Thank you so much and have a glorious day.
Julie Zachs: Great tutorial, I’ve made loads of these in the last month. I’ve used quilting clips instead of pins and they work great.

Karen Stocks: I made these today and are fab however could I just point out to anyone struggling with the end as you said you ,at have a bit of fabric over ! In my case I haven't mine have been perfect if you pull the fabric underneath and let the top lie it will meet perfectly although I have seen for 43 years lol. I've also done a satin one so this can be achieved also.
